The length of a line is not necessarily a practical value as a line goes on for ever. The length of a line is infinite. However, the length of a line segment is of more value and is a finite value. Any time we measure how long a package is or how long our table is, we are taking the length of a line segment. Learn the formula for finding the length of a line segment when given two points in either 2 dimensions or in 3 dimensions.
The difference of squares is another specially structured quadratic. A difference of squares has a very specific factorization which we will learn about.
Another form of interpreting the linear relation is with the parametric equation of a line. In this form we have an unknown or parameter value. Depending on how many parameters there are we determine the type of “plane” we have. In our case here we will see one parameter indicating that we have a line.
Solving linear relationships involves determining what the value of the variable is. I will usually tell students the first step is to move everything with a variable on one side of the equal sign and all the numbers to the other side of the equal sign.
